Personal Narrative-Soflty In High School
I slept soflty in my room, meanwhile, Auston snored loudly. The sound echoed across the house. The sound nearly woke me up, but I managed to keep my eyes shut. There was an ambient sound that awoke me. My phone blared and I hastily rushed to investigate the noise. My mom was calling me, so I answered, “Hello?” She explained to me that she had to leave for work, and Auston and I were home alone. She also asked if we were on our way to the school bus stop. I checked my phone. It read 8:50, and the school bus departs at 9:00. “Yes we are on our way”, I responded and hung up.

Auston, my twin brother,was still asleep. I rushed to his room, shook him, and screamed to get up because we will miss the bus. Auston jumped out of bed and started to throw clothes on to himself. In a panic, I put clothes on, picked up my bag, and ran out the door. Both of us sprinted to the bus stop. Sweat dripped down our faces and the sound of books clapping together grew loud. The bus stop was 5 minutes away from our house. It was 9:00. When we arrived at the bus stop, the bus had already departed. My brother looked at me with a devious look. I knew that look. He was about to start an argument with me, but I wasn’t going to take it. No matter what happened, arguing with me wasn’t going to solve anything. I suggested “Let’s start walking to school”. He agreed knowing there was no other option.

School started at 9:35, and it was a 50 minute walk. Auston had given up on any other solutions to get to school on time, but I hadn’t. I thought to myself what other ways we could arrive to school faster. Cars drove by. Auston and I watched them as they passed. “Only if we had a car to drive”, Auston wished. My brain sparked. “You’re genious!” I responded. We need to ride a car to get to school on

    My high school graduating class consisted of 66 students, so obviously everyone knew everyone and unfortunately everyone’s business. When I was a junior, a well-known and liked senior boy had a very public breakup with his girlfriend of 3 years. They had met as freshmen and were expected to marry after finishing school. The next day he drove his car at what police estimated in excess of 100 miles per hour into a concrete railroad bridge that crossed the main road out of town. After that, the bridge became known as Burkett’s bridge and I was never able to drive through it without getting a chill and goosebumps on my arms. It’s been over 40 years since high school, and it is amazing how often I still think of Bobby and his…

    “It was my best friend Amy’s 16th birthday and we had just finished celebrating. Janet, my other friend, needed a ride home. Since I’m not allowed to have anybody else in my navy blue Honda Accord, Amy offered to give Janet a ride in her raspberry red Ford Explorer. Since Janet’s house is a block away from my house, I told Amy to follow me so Janet didn’t have to worry about giving directions. Seeing as she wasn’t too good at doing so anyways. We came upon a stoplight just as it turned yellow. I zipped right on through. It didn’t occur to me that Amy and Janet would have to wait for the light to turn green. As soon as I realized that that was the case, I pulled over to the side of the road to wait. With an open space of dried out weeds to my right and a field of wet, green, grass to my left, I kept my eye on the rearview mirror so I knew when to pull back out in front of them. I don’t know what, but something to my…

    The alarm clock rang. I slowly turned over to look at the clock, 7:35. What 7:35! I jumped out of bed as fast as I could. How long was it going off for? Why did I not wake up? I had so many questions going through my head, but I only had 10 minutes to hurry up and get ready. Hair, teeth, makeup, and soccer gear that’s everything I thought to myself. At the exact moment I heard the loud squealing of the buses brakes. I took off running as fast as I could through the neighbor’s yard and to make things even better it was raining. The rain drops felt like a slap to the face as they hit me. As I got to the bus stop the bus left. I stood there for a moment letting the large rain drops bounce off my skin. Then I started walking to school. I knew right then and there that this was going to be a really bad day.…

    As we walked along a dark chilly hallway I was scared, when I’m scared I cry but surprisingly my eyes were rather dry. I could hear a catchy and familiar tune in the distance. As we walked it got louder until I could make out what it was and then we stopped. I felt something wet on my cheek and used my hand to wipe it off. It was a tear. “Wait! I moved my hands” I exclaimed. Now back in control of our bodies we followed each other voices and huddled together. My brothers were as scared as I was, I could hear fear roaring in their voices but they tried to hide it. We were all talking at once trying to make sense of what was going on when another tune ripped through the air. “Here’s my number, so call me baby” sang the two idiots I shared a womb with for nine months. Before I was able to comment on…

    “Stop the car!” in a frantic panic voice as I was running after the family car. “Mom don’t leave me!” I yelled, as my family drove off without clue that I was not in the car with them. As I came to a halting stop, my heart was pounding a hundred miles a minute. I was sweating so much; it felt I had played a full game of basketball. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Perspiration and tears filled my shirt as I stood in shock at the corner 7-Eleven convenient store. A typical Friday gas up for our weekly routine trip to Austin had just turned into nightmare of an event. Asleep in the back of the wagon when we had stopped for gas, I woke up and went into the store to buy some candy. I didn’t tell anyone where I was going, understandably, being that I was only seven years old and I was only thinking about myself.…

    Finally, I saw a vehicle coming. It’s about time, I thought. We’re going to be late to the movie and what would you guess? It wasn’t my ride, it was my mom. I was so bored that I decided to hide behind the door in my house and scare my mom as she came in. She wouldn’t expect it since I was supposed to be gone. So I ran inside and hid. I stood far in the corner so that she wouldn’t see me as she walked to the door. I couldn’t wait to see her reaction since every little thing seemed to scare her. Then I heard the car door shut. The key hit the lock, and she opened the door. As she walked in, I jumped out and screamed. She dropped everything she was carrying and screamed too. As she turned around, she threw a punch but stopped before she hit me when she realized it was just I. Needless to say, she slapped me anyway. I couldn’t help but laugh at her. If you would have been there to see the look on her face, you would have laughed too.…

    The Nightmare

    It was a cold rainy day. Droplets of water trickled down the foggy window, and I knew immediately that it was gently drizzling outside. As I was slowly extricating myself from bed that morning, I wondered, how did I wake up? I never woke up in the morning by myself. Usually, I would only arise from my lazy slumber after hearing my mother’s “morning call”. Those thoughts left me and I continued on my routine. As usual, I went into the bathroom to bathe, brush my teeth and after that, put on my school uniform. When I was ready to have my breakfast, I shot a quick glance at the clock on the wall. It screamed 7.00 a.m.! Late! I am late to school! I ran out of my room frantically in search of my mother as she prepares my breakfast every morning. Something was just not right, and I could not ignore this sinister feeling that I was having.…

    It was a Monday morning like any other, cold, and the little light that was present squeezing its way through the sky’s grey veil. It was on these bitter twilight mornings that I apprehensively pulled my half-asleep body out from my overwhelmingly warm and comfortable bed. Leaving the house, late as per usual, I took the normal route through the park on my now daily routine journey to college. The 15-minute walk turned out to be a 10-minute walk as I was able to pick up the pace to reach the station before my train left.…

    “Auch! Please stop!” I heard mum cried, “I’m begging you!”. “Go to hell f***ing cow!” dad yelled. The clock at my nightstand displayed 00.13. Even though I went to bed 9 o’clock I hadn’t had a wink of sleep yet. What if dad was going to hurt her? I had to do something; I could not let something like that happen. Therefore I motivated myself to go to the hallway and tell him to stop. Unfortunately, I did not understand that by doing this, I put fuel on the flames. I tiptoed out in the hallway. Mum was moaning on the floor. Tears started to stream down my cheeks. “Dad, why can’t you stop?” I cried. Immediately I regretted my exclamation, because dad did not stop. In spite of what I told him to do, he broke down a lamp from the wall and threw it at mum, who still laid at the floor with difficulties breathing. “Dad, stop it, why are you doing this!” I shouted, while I ran towards mom to check on her. Dad stopped me, grabbed me firmly by the arms and pushed my down the stairs. Everything went black, I fainted.…
